Hastings Department of Public Service Crews were busy Tuesday morning removing the snow from downtown Hastings. Large loaders dumped the snow into city trucks, then hauled away.

By the way because the snow has covered many fire hydrants in the city, if there is one near your house take a few minutes and clear out the snow from around the hydrant.

Total snow to date in Hastings 42 inches. As of today Hastings is well below the seasonal average which is between 75 to 78 inches.
